The first blank refers to the standard deviation, which is actually the average distance a normal point is from the mean. The second blank also refers to the standard deviation, which is a more tractable measure of the variance compared to other types of deviation or variance. Therefore, the correct choice is B: standard deviation / standard deviation.

The ____________ Is Actually the Average Distance a Normal Point
